most german guns made in the fifties and sixties are of good quality, similar to the pre war guns...it seems that in the seventies and eighties some Suhl guns were made to a lower price point...once the communist lost control of east Germany, prices, but not quality went through the roof...for examples merkels made in the nineties and later are often heavy, clunky old thangs, that seem for no good reason to be very high priced... merkel, and their agents, in recent years, have done a wonderful job of marketing their products.
